8 Ways To Speed Up Your Metabolism To Lose Weight

Here’s 8 metabolic fat loss boosters to lose pounds of fat FAST and the TRUTH about whether they work – in addition to why cardio is as BAD as cheeseburgers!

Your metabolism is your fat loss foundation.

It continues consuming and consuming fat 24 hours a day… the main issue is, do you have a quick digestion?

Furthermore, if not, what would you be able to do about it to boost your digestion and consume fat to shed pounds?

Your metabolism is essentially what number of calories you consume every day. Youngsters have quicker metabolic rates than grown-ups, and we as a whole think about the unbelievable digestion’s of teenage boys.

That is the digestion you wish you had.

And keeping in mind that it is unavoidable that your digestion diminishes with age,it doesn’t doom you to gaining weight.

It may even decline 30% over your life, but really, is that any reason to wind up noticeably overweight? No chance.

Not when you can turn it around with a few basic, proven methods noted below….

Here are 8 conceivable metabolic supporters and reality about whether each works.

Metabolic Booster Strength Training

Claim: Boosts metabolism up to 10% after a training program

In fact, despite what many men and women think, harder exercise is better for your metabolism. However, please note that 1 pound of muscle does not burn 50 calories per day.

In one study, women received a greater metabolic boost from using 8 repetitions per set rather than traditional high-rep (12 reps) sets. So stick to harder exercises (pushups and more advanced body-weight exercises) or dumbbell exercises.

2. Metabolic Booster Breakfast

Claim: Because it stops your “fasting”, it can boost metabolism

True? Maybe yes, maybe no. Your metabolism won’t go into “starvation mode” without breakfast, but it is associated with successful weight loss. So make it a habit to consume some protein, fiber, & fruit (& even veggies if you can fit them in) at this time. Avoid breakfast foods high in carbohydrates like these TOP 10. This will keep your appetite in check till your next break or even lunch.

3. Metabolic Booster Green Tea

Claim: Burns an extra 80 calories per day

True? Not really. It has been shown to burn 80 calories per day in young men on the first day of supplementation, but will this affect last once your body gets used to it? I don’t think.

After all, take a look at caffeine. You can find studies that show it increases metabolism as well. But really, is anyone losing fat with caffeine? The revolving doors at Starbucks say “No!”.

Coffee is okay in moderate doses, and I recommend Green Tea to everyone, but for health reasons, not for fat loss. The only way you will lose fat with Green Tea is if you replace a 410+-calorie Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino® Blended Creme with an iced, unsweetened Green Tea. Otherwise, don’t count on it for much in terms of metabolism.

4. Metabolic Booster Fat Burners

Claim: Boost your metabolism big time!

Fat burners are simply caffeine pills with a few other ingredients thrown in. You’ll get an increase in mental energy, but that doesn’t mean it will significantly boost metabolism or burn fat.

5. Ice Cold Water with Lemon Juice Squeezed into it

Claim: The body will burn calories warming up the water and the lemon juice also burns more fat.

Truth? Nice in theory, short in practice. Nobody is losing fat with ice cold water. If it sounds too good to be true – you know the rest of the story.

6. Eating 6 small meals per day

Claim: Boosts metabolism and can help control cholesterol.

Possibly true. Try and split your meals up into smaller meals that can be eaten over the course of the day. This might be part of the breakfast magic…

Metabolic Booster No. 1 Protein

Claim: Burns more calories (uses more calories in digestion than carbohydrates or fat).

True, but…

I’m not sure if this is significant, but protein also helps fill you up longer. And that’s where the real benefit comes in – preventing overeating. And if you want details, another study showed that animal protein results in more energy burned than vegetable protein.

Essentially there are 4 different fast- and slow-acting proteins that provide your body with quality nutrition for up to 8 hours, without the insulin-spike associated with whey-protein-only products.

And I do know this. A recent study from Australia found that a shorter interval program led to more weight loss than a twice-as-long aerobic training program. This confirms the original interval training study from as far back as 1994 that showed greater results from a shorter interval program when compared to a traditional cardio program. (see study)

Bottom line: Intervals work!

So we see that hard work and diligent eating burn more calories and that magic pills and potions don’t work.

But that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. My advice? Add strength, intervals, mini-meals, and protein to your weight loss plan and you’ll be leaner and warmer thanks to your faster metabolism.
